As you may have read in the previous post, the swimsuit season is here, and it’s time to get rid of unwanted hair, zap those spider veins and eliminate common skin disorders with the best laser technologies available today that will help you look your best. We have outlined several affordable, highly effective laser treatments that you should consider.

Throw away those razors and forego the wax.

Laser hair removal provides a safe, fast and extremely effective method for long-term reduction of unwanted hair – anywhere on your face or body. Laser hair removal works by heating the pigment in the hair follicle. Active hair growth is eliminated when the pigment at the base of the hair follicle absorbs the light emitted by the laser. Hair removal sessions may last from a few minutes up to an hour depending on the size of the area being treated. Because lasers treat hair in active growth phase, multiple treatments are required.

Many lasers and IPL devices are used for laser hair removal. The choice of the laser modality is determined by your physician who will need to consider a multitude of factors, but most importantly your skin type and availability of pigment in your hair follicles. People with blond, red and grey hair have very little pigment and they need to be aware that laser treatments will not be effective for them.

There is a lot of competition in the laser hair removal business and costs have gone down dramatically. In the long run, you will save a lot of time and money doing the laser hair removal. You may have to get zapped once a month for 6-9 months but the solution is permanent. Now calculate your waxing, tweezing, shaving expenses per year, multiply that by your life expectancy and compare the numbers. Factor in your time, gas, bother – and the difference will become even more obvious.

Laser those Spider Veins

Most people have them on the legs and/or on the face. Lasers can effectively treat spider veins and many other vascular lesions and skin conditions, such as angiomas, hemangiomas, Rocasea, etc. in one to three sessions. Little pain – a lot to gain. Your aesthetic physician will choose the correct laser modality depending on your skin type.

Say Bye to Unsightly Spots

Sun spots, age spots, cafe au lait spots, many other kinds of pigmented spots can also be safely efficaciously removed with the use of modern laser technologies. No downtime, no post-op care, little risk of complications if done properly.
